Hi,
My mom and others her age and older called the Town something which
sounded like "Steamville" They were once photoed and printed on front
page of West News, West, Texas watching the WestFest Labor day Parade. I
was teaching Industrial and Health Occupations Co- Op there and saw
Willie Gail Stephens at all State workshops and VICA contests.he was a
year ahead of me in Selden High.
The West News reporter spelled it Steamville- phonetic spelling of
Stephenville. I have heard others say it like that, but they had no
problem saying Stephens- They grew up with Gail Stephens and his wife
M.E. Johnson Stephens after mom and Her Henry Carey family moved from
Arkansas to Huckaby, Then Pea Ridge,then Oak Dale then Selden, where Mom
and dad were married. Dad taught one year AT Harmony, Bosque County and
entire First grade was bilingual- German and Norwegian. I have a photo
of the school with dad and a lady teacher and the students. One is Lee
Ericson, First grade. Bosque County Museum has a copy of the photo. Lee
coached Girl's Basketball many years at Meridian and had won State
Championship a few years. he was still coaching and on payroll when I
moved to Walnut Springs to be part time Principal, Bus driver, Senior
Sponsor and Math and History teacher before lunch.
Grandad Carey's Uncle was injured in Civil War Battle of Pea Ridge,
Arkansas and lay among corpses for 3 days, when a Burial Detail saw him
move. He recoverred and kept books for his daughter's store in Pine Mtn,
Arkansas. Mom was born in Hope, Ark. Her connections in Arkansas were
Hipp, Copeland, Stone, Bateman and Ramage kin and in South Carolina
were Vaughn- Vaughan, Dillard, and Nabors- Neighbors families - all
buried in Huricane Baptist Church, Clinton, South Carolina, near
Mayberry.
Harmony was near Meridian Lake and Fairy Schools where Great Aunt
Carrie Vinson Wyly taught. I think her daughter Minnieola Wyly Fulbright
also taught there and at Flat Creek, Hamilton County. Both had attended
Tarleton College while living with kin at Selden. Fairy had room to
room communicationin 1950's- a Wall hung Battery phone in each room and
the office.

Charles,
I have to wonder if your Great Great Grandfather Dr. W.P. Hatchett has
anything to do with the reason my great uncle and another man in my
family had the first names of Hatchett. They were the Tudors and
Cantrells, of Stephenville. I have always wondered where the name
Hatchett came from and why it was used for them.
Diane Cantrell Clark

I would like to correspond with someone who has information on
Archabald Turley and Sarah Otwell
Children:
1. Andrew Jackson Turley married Ellen Butler
No Children
2. Mansell L. Turley married Phebe Jones
Children: Pearl, Ollie, Earl and maybe more children
3. William H. Turley married ?????
4. John Turley - no other information.
I know that they were in Hunt County and then came to Erath County.
I would appreciate any help you can give to me.
Thanks

Concerning Stephenville's spelling, according to Grady Perry's Grand ole
Erath book and other sources, ( Grady Perry was a State Representative
who guided some Stephenville researchers in Austin when he was there
and not in his Johnsville Store ), The Secretary or printer goofed and
put the second S in the law- and no other record listed Stephensville
.Present Governor Perry is from same Perry Family of Dublin and Wast
Texas . My Great Great Grandfather Dr. W.P. Hatchett- Selden Cemetery.
His brother was also a Texas Circuit riding preacher nearer Abilene- a
grandfather to Dr. Stevens of Abilene Christian College in 1960's. The
first home built in Stephenville was built on Stephen land by a Black man
with Stephen family Connections. Another Stephen brother was Ox Cart
freighter from McLennan County Rai depot to Fort Graham and Fort Griffin
and lived in Panther Cave in Chalk Mountain when his twin sons were
born- Cliff Stephen and Cave Stephen. Cliff was living in 1950's and his
visit with younger Stephen kin was recorded in Bosque and Erath and
maybe Glen Rose newspapers. He stood on edge of the ridge overlooking
Glen Rose near Hill Creek and the cave in silence a long time before
turning and leaving.
A third Stephen brother was RR depot operator in Elm Mott (Waco) RR
Station. Dr. Hatchett of Bosque Valley and Duffau branches married
Angelina Isabella Stevens and later her cousin Narcissa Stevens. Both
are buried near him and Rev. Stevens in Selden Cemetery, as well as 7
other generations of the Wyly, Hatchett, and related kin More Hatchetts
are buried in Indian Creek and in Baird, Texas and some in Old Mexico,
State of San Luis Potosi, since 1845.
Homer Stephen of 1960's and author of many historic notes in
Stephenville Newspaper, lived on land owned by one of 3 Stephen
Brothers. Gail Stephens of Selden was a farmer and lay minister in
Primitive Baptist Churches.
Spelling of names is also a sore spot for me- Our family has borne the
WYLY name since William The Conqueror- may have been some orphans raised
by uneducated kin who mispelled it. some of my teachers tried to re-
spell our name. Trleton photos have a Grand Jury with 2 or 3 Selden Wylys
and one JohnWiley or Wylie of Northwest Erath County in same photo
with all called for that grand jury.
Question: Was this John Wylie the same one who joined John Chisholm or
Chissum ( John Chisholm, Sam Houston's friend from Tennessee was the
peacemaker who kept Indians out of war with Mexico). he never drove
cattle through Waco he did have a trading post in Kansas and surveyed
a trail from Red River port to his store, which Texas Trai drivers
joined south of the river. . This Wylie and another John Chisholm from
Paris, Texas and Concho River Chisholm when the cattle from Denton ,
Texas area were driven through Erath County to the Concho River valley -
these partners mostly either contracted delivery of catle or sold some
to The Goodnight- Loving partners . These catle were driven south to
the Pecos then north up Pecos Valley across New Mexico and Colorado to
Government buyers for Army and Indian Reservation trading posts.
A third John or Jesse Chissum- Chisholm of Broken Bow, Oklahoma drove
his and neighbor's cattle up the Old Shawnee Trainl to Illinois markets-
Some drove them upthe old Wire Road of White River, Arkansas. A 4 th
Chisolm- a generation sooner than the first 3 which had some Indian
ancestors, was the John Chisholm of Knoxville, Tennessee. he ran a
frontier Inn and influenced Great Grand 8 times back John Sevier and
William Blount ( Gov. of Territory South of the Ohio) of Knoxville to
keep the Mississippi open. East Coast politicians wanted the
Mississippi closed and for pioneers to use Erie Canal and near
Moganahela River and other rivers feeding the Mississipp and mountain
trails for trade routes to Eastern markets. Eventually Blount was
threatened with iompeachment in U. S. Senate - he returned to Knoxville
and friends protected him.
Sorry I rambled, but this is where so many Historians goof up-
mispelling names and attaching the name to the wrong events. I met
one old man in Meridian in 1960's who drove Chisolm Trail from East Texas
through Cranfils Gap to dipping and grazing in Concho and Colorado River
valleys with the Chisholm from Paris, Texas, Collin County and from
Concho River, and after fatening and roundup, they were driven south on
the Goodnight- Loving Trail before turning norty outside Texas . They
did not cross Waco Bridge- there was a low water crossing between Gholson
and Waco, which was used many years before Waco Suspension bridge. One
canstill ride a horse across it when water is not being released at
Whitney.

I grew up on Vanderbilt Street in Stephenville. It was paved with Thurber
bricks. Some other streets in Stephenville were also. I understand that the city
is now interested in restoring and preserving some of those streets. Quite a
few houses were moved to Stephenville from Thurber. One of my grandparents'
rental houses on Cain Street was one. It has now been torn down for student
apartments.
Shirley

Charles,
Charles,
Do you know who to contact about the bricks. I would love to have one. My
folks lived there before the early 1920s. My dad also worked in the mines
for a short time. Several other relatives worked there also.

The census images on Ancestry.com can be saved to your computer. If you have the right hardware or picture editing software, you can then edit or enhance these images. There is no limit to how many you can save to your computer. They can also be printed.

Thought you might want to know- We saw a man in Sulak's Cafe in West
Sunday who is rebuilding and widening Dallas Streets. 2 feet down they
found a layer of Thurber Bricks with name stamped in them. He said
collectors suddenly popped out of the woodwork wanting one of the
bricks. They were used also in Camp Bowie Blvd, Fort Worth, and main
streets of Waco, Temple, Austin, and San Antonio and others We found some
which came from Waco's Austin Avenue near Cox's Store. They make good
door props and book ends.

Waco and Hewitt city libraries have access to sites not available to
our home computers. Use is free, but small charge for copies. One
nearest Hwy 6 or Fair Grounds is in the new Lake Air R.B. Hoover
library- - Geneaology division is in basement of main library at 18 the
& Austin Ave. I understand that much info from Texas State Library in
Austin is available on these records. If you had ancestors in Texas
Volunteer Contract Rangers- in Mexico saving Gen. Taylor's neck from
ambush by Indians, Their records there from Gen. Taylor may list them
as deserters. According to one report in Texas State Library, these
Rangers , like Great Grandad Dr. & Rev. W.P. Hatychett, fulfilled their
contracts and went home. Some joined the Ranger unit from Waco and
signed up another year. Dr. Hatchett, buried in Selden on Duffau Creek,
organized 17 churches from Gonzales, then from Valley Mills to Pony
Creek, Duffau, Hico, Valley Mills( On East side of Bosque River) and
others. Bill Robinson and other circuit riders would help him with
first organizational charter services.His son led in starting Selden
Church . His brother stayed in Matehula. Mexico and pa stored an
Evangelical Church and mined gold and had a letter from a Mexican Pres.
allowing him to stay and own his home when many were sent back to the
U.S. . Son Santiago Hatchett was Civil Engineer who built first RR
tracks across State of San Luis Potosi. Great Granddaughter Maria De La
Luz Hatchett sent a letter to Jim Hatchett of Baird Texas Hatchett
Ranch . he sent me a copy. Maria was head of Secretarial Pool of Mexican
National Assembly after 1950. Her daughter married and moved to
Morocco. Her dad was orphaned as a child and ended up with 3 or 4
Butcher shops and 4 restaurants in Mexico City.
i do not think Texas Sons of the Republic of Texas are listed on

What do you mean by "whole documant?" If you mean an entire page, there are two sites that will let you download an entire page or as many pages as you want. They are Ancestry.com, for which you need a paid subscription, and Heritage Quest. If you live in Texas, you can get free access to Heritage Quest if your local library participates in the Texshare program. Libraries in some other states have a similar program. Check with your local library.

The most widely used census sites are Ancestry.com and HeritageQuest Online. Both require a subscription unless you use them through a library. You can use the library version of Ancestry.com at many public libraries. You can use HeritageQuest at home through the Texas State Library Databases. Go to your nearest public library and use your library card to get a free TexShare card. The library will give you their their logonid and password for the databases, which you can use from home.

I have part of "Erath County, Texas Census Records Including the 1860 and 1870 Federal Census, etc."
I am looking for a site that lets me download the entire document.
I am interested in correlating present day addresses with the addresses for families that lived in the different enumeration districts between 1860-1880. For instance: 120-111 for 1860 might be present day address 14400 FM205. I was told that in some counties, enumeration maps were made.
I am looking for some information that the census taker or his boss might have stated, for instance, "This is the tract of land in the country between FM205 and FM345 or FMxyz that the census covered." I want to correlate the number of the home he gave to a particular address of a home today.

I don't know about the Texas state census... but on the Federal Census the
house numbers do not correlate to an actual house number. They are the number
of houses that that particular census taker had visited.

Bosque Creek is now called North Fork of Bosque River, which is main
source of Lake Waco. East Bosque is in southeast corner of the county
above Iredell. Green's Creek, Meridian Creek, Duffau Creeks, Sims Creek,
Neil's Creek and others join it. So does Middle Bosque through Crawford
and President Bush's Ranch. A State park and shelter and hookups and
waterfall is in City park at Crawford. Plenty of room for political
rallies.
Hog Creek is nearby. South Bosque runs from McGregor area - all feed
into Lake Waco above the Brazos near Waco Airport. Lots of sources of
pollution on all these streams besides Dairies in Erath County.
Bosque Street became the present Tarleton Avenue . By theway- do you
know Janie Furman of Selden Kay and Wyly area?"
Charles Wyly
should be on Historic maps on Internet somewhere.
